Abstract:By using the mesoscale WRF model version 3.2.1, the simulation effects of five different microphysics schemes on summer monsoonal climate from 2007 to 2011 in East Asia were comparatively analyzed. Results show that each scheme can clarify the distribution of summer daily precipitations in eastern China, however, obvious difference exists in the simulations of summer precipitation intensity and distributions: the summer precipitation intensity by the WDM6 scheme is obviously stronger than other four schemes and the total performance of simulated precipitation by Morrison scheme is better than other schemes. Moreover, five microphysics schemes simulate well the spatial distributions of cloud water, rain and ice-phase particles. The cloud water and rain mixing ratios calculated by WSM3 scheme is clearly larger than other schemes, while the cloud water mixing ratio by WDM6 is smaller compared to other schemes. In addition to the relatively smaller rain mixing ratio by Morrison scheme, the mixing ratio of graupel in cold cloud is also smaller, resulting in the weaker summer daily precipitation between the Guangdong province and the Fujian province than other schemes but more close to the TRMM dataset. What’s more, five microphysics schemes also can describe the seasonal advance and retreat of the sub-tropical high, rain belt and atmospheric hydrometeors over East Asian. Besides, the rain water particles and the rain belts in the latitude of five microphysics schemes are consistent with each other in the process of their advance and retreat, following after the northward advance and the southward retreat of the sub-tropical high. Finally, the abundant precipitations in the low-middle latitude areas, which is little available to move to the other districts, are always consistent with the maximum of the ice and snow particles over these areas, it means that the density of ice-phased particles at high level of atmosphere resulted from the tropical convection is the key factor to determine the strength of precipitations in the low-middle latitude areas.
